This is a wild template

Or perhaps just read a book -> based

The Japanese smartphone market is infamously very hostile. Impressive that a newcomer like Google managed to thrive there.

Does Apple Wallet have an API? It honestly feels like Google Wallet is just working towards copying all the Apple Wallet features slowly but surely.

I use Hannah Montana Linux btw

Federation with Meta will probably not have a huge effect on Lemmy. Threads has no communities after all.

It will probably be mostly a Mastodon thing.

That is the case for every PWA from every browser afaik.

Both Firefox and Kiwi PWA seem go ignore your default browser selection

Hopefully Threads can tank all the lawsuits from Twitter, so that Mastodon can operate in peace lol.

I wonder tho, how much Threads has copied from Mastodon

Mastodon is a bubble. You have primarily highly educated, tech-literate nerds on that platform.

Obviously people are more civil and polite there, than some raging uneducated losers and trolls on facebook.

As the fediverse grows, the userbase will obviously lose this current isolated tech-wizard school vibe, and feel more like going into a random pub in a big city. Regardless if Meta joins the fediverse or not.

yeah, that’s going to be my phone of choice as well, after my Galaxy S9 dies.

When I used Facebook a few years ago, my feed was mostly memes, ads and personal posts from friends and family.

Maybe I never got the ragebait political stuff, because everyone in my friend circle wasn’t keen on being the sad guy that publicly yells at clouds on facebook.

Popular hashtags on Twitter and to some extend even on Mastodon, just makes you feel bad for the mental health of these perma-raging users tho.

Political spaces in general on every social platform are just magnets for misery.

“Ragefarming” and “algorithmically filtering for rage” just means sorting by thread activity. Mastodon already does this.

Linux low market-share (in the desktop space) has less to do with marketing and more with the fact, that Microsoft has made many contracts with PC vendors and professional PC users everywhere.

Normies don’t install any OS. Businesses don’t want to waste time and money switching over to Linux.

Marketing in the OS space is practically irrelevant.

Threads is easier to get into than Mastodon.

Damn already more than double the users of Mastodon

American drivers licenses are basically just EU style ID cards. For new licenses you even need biometric data. State IDs and the “Passport Card” are (somewhat obscure) alternatives.

Europeans only need to apply for ID cards at around the age, were the average American gets their driver’s license.

A young American adult is probably almost just as identifiable by their government, as a young European adult would be by theirs.

Seeing regulations like the REAL ID act, I would say that America is headed towards more identification, rather than less.

Hardware-wise: Samsung Galaxy S series or Sony Xperia

Software-wise: Google Pixel >>>>> Fairphone > OnePlus

I use the Kiwi Browser for that. Open source browser with addon support. Is Chromium-based tho.

PWAs don’t work correctly in non-Chromium browsers. Firefox does not officially support them.

Doesn’t every American have a social security number? That’s basically a national ID, just without any security features tho.

They live in Japan, so the worst that could happen is them getting banned I reckon
